I cannot believe that Stacey has been a part of the team for an entire year! Wow! Stacey, our Fitness Boss, has been providing us with monthly wellness articles and is always talking about a triathlon. Whew! Go 'head with your bad self, Stacey!
As we celebrate her one year of writing for All Tressed Up, we invite you to join us for our very first wellness challenge entitled, Hydration Challenge.
I have a few clients and some who come in for consultations and I cannot help but notice a dry scalp and hair sharing similar characteristics. Our bodies are composed of up to sixty percent of water. That is over half. Our bodies require water to function properly.
This is a beauty website, so what now? Well, beauty begins from within. It's all about what you eat, drink and how you take care of yourself - mind, body and spirit. It shows (and if you're dong it right - it radiates) on the outside.
The Challenge
We challenge you to drink eight cups of water per day. Do you think you can handle it?
If you're up for the challenge, follow these steps:
- Create an account on Sparkpeople.com.
- Join our team page.
- Begin tracking your water intake via the Sparkpeople.com website.
The contest begins on August 18, 2011 and end on September 1, 2011. For the first two weeks we will announce one winner who will receive a wellness-inspired gift. This could be an eco-friendly water bottle, yoga mat or even a gift card to Whole Foods. These winners would have drank the most water within a week.
On September 1, 2011 we will announce the grand prize winner who would have successfully drank eight cups of water per day consistently or it could be the person who was the most consistent in their water consumption. The grand prize winner will receive a gift basket of wellness goodies as well as a few beauty goodies.
Happy Blogoversary, Stacey!!! Thank you for all that you do!













This ingredient can be found in many of our hair and skincare products. Its primary function is to remove dirt, oil and buildup regardless of the surface. I say this because the same ingredient that we spread on our body surfaces is also used (in higher concentrations of course) in engine degreasers and floor cleaners! Can you imagine using the same chemical to clean your face/hair to clean your engine?!
